Abstract

A color photographic cine or TV film on which a sound recording band or track can be formed without the necessity for a specific additional treatment comprising a film base having thereon at least a silver halide emulsion layer containing a coupler capable of forming a dye by the coupling reaction with the oxidation product of an aromatic primary amino developing agent, and at least one of the emulsion layers of the color photographic material containing a bleach inhibitor in only the portion defined as the sound recording track.

       3. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is a compound having at least one mercapto group. 
     
     
       4. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is a compound capable of forming a compound having at least one mercapto group by hydrolysis or reaction with the oxidation product of a color developing agent. 
     
     
       5. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is a compound having a thioether bond directly at an atom in the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring. 
     
     
       6. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound in which at least one nitrogen atom thereof is connected to a group having more than 11 carbon atoms to thereby form a quaternary salt. 
     
     
       7. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is an aldehyde type gelatin hardening agent, a methylol type gelatin hardening agent, a 1,4-dioxane type gelatin hardening agent, an aziridine type gelatin hardening agent, an isooxazole type gelatin hardening agent, a carbodiimide type gelatin hardening agent, an active halogen type gelatin hardening agent, or an active vinyl type gelatin hardening agent, said bleach inhibitor being present in an amount of at least 4% by weight to the gelatin. 
     
     
       8. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which said bleach inhibitor is a compound having at least one oxyalkylene group. 
     
     
       9. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, in which the back surface of said support of said color photographic material is dyed or pigmented at the portion corresponding to said sound track portion on the silver halide emulsion layer side. 
     
     
       10. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which the back surface of said support of said color photographic material is dyed or pigmented at the portion corresponding to said sound track portion on the silver halide emulsion layer side. 
     
     
       11. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 1, in which the sound track portion of the silver halide emulsion layer or layers is dyed. 
     
     
       12. The color photographic material as set forth in claim 2, in which the sound track portion of the silver halide emulsion layer or layers is dyed. 
     
     
       13. An unexposed and unprocessed method of preparing a color photographic material having a sound track portion which comprises coating on a support a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler, a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye-forming coupler, and a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye-forming coupler and then coating a coating composition containing a bleach inhibitor on a portion of the silver halide emulsion layer or layers which permeates into said layer or layers to define a sound track portion. 
     
     
       14. A method of forming color images and sound images on a color photographic material, which comprises exposing said color photographic material as set forth in claim 1 to visual and sound images and processing said material in the steps of color developing, stopping, first fixing, bleaching and second fixing. 
     
     
       15. A method of forming color images and sound images on a color photographic material, which comprises exposing said color photographic material as set forth in claim 1 to visual and sound images and processing said material in the steps of black and white developing, reversal exposing at the color image portions, color developing, stopping, first fixing, bleaching, and second fixing. 
     
     
       16. The method of forming color images and sound images as set forth in claim 14, in which said stopping and first fixing are conducted simultaneously. 
     
     
       17. The method of forming color images and sound images as set forth in claim 15, in which said stopping and first fixing are conducted simultaneously. 
     
     
       18. A method of forming color images and sound images on a color photographic material, which comprises exposing said color photographic material as set forth in claim 1 to visual and sound images and processing said material in the steps of color developing, stopping or stop-fixing, bleaching, and fixing.
